Oven
• DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the
heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, the oven door, and the window of the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. The build-up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, newspapers can catch
fire.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Use care when opening the door. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove food from or put food into the oven.
• Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms, except as
suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
• Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in the desired location
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, use
potholders. Do not let the potholders come in contact with the hot heating
element in the oven.
• Do not allow aluminum foil or a meat probe to contact the heating elements.
• During use, the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the
oven door glass. They can scratch the surface which may result in the glass
shattering.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power returns, the oven may begin to
operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.
